ComponentRef, etc).</li>
  <li>IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse plug-ins: The improved conversion of
IntelliJ IDEA forms now removes IDEA's GUI code (e.g. $$$setupUI$$$()
method and component fields) and also uses the same modifiers (public,
private, protected, etc) for the new component fields as the removed
fields. This makes the migration from IntelliJ IDEA GUI builder to
JFormDesigner seamless.</li>

workspace. The stand-alone edition provides a "Code Style" preferences
page. </li>

initialization in initComponentsI18n() method, which can be used to

FormLayout classes when using generation of explicit imports.</li>

  <li>Mac OS X: Increased row height of Properties view.</li>
</ul>
<h2><a name="2_0">2.0</a></h2>
<h3>New Features</h3>
<h4>Design view</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Menu designer: Visual design of menu bars and
popup menus, in-place edit menu item texts and drag-and-drop menu
items. The component palette contains a new category "Menus".</li>
  <li>Internationalization support: externalize and internalize
strings, edit resource bundles, add locales, switch locale used in
Design view, in-place-edit text of current locale.</li>
  <li>Support for events: Add and remove event handlers, generates
handler methods, also usable with runtime library (see
documentation of method <code>FormCreator.setTarget()</code> for
details).</li>
  <li>New "Morph Bean" command allows you to change the class of
existing components without loosing properties, events or layout
information.</li>
  <li>Layout manager changing.</li>
  <li>Marquee selection tool.</li>
  <li>Auto-insert new columns/rows when dropping
components on a gap
column/row.</li>
  <li>Auto-insert new columns/rows when adding or moving
components outside of the existing grid.</li>
  <li>Improved moving of multiple selected components.</li>
  <li>Keep selection when moving components/columns/rows.</li>
  <li>Column/row splitting introduced.</li>
  <li>When adding a scrollable component, ask the user whether he wants

while selecting components in the Design view.</li>
  <li>Possibility to specify a "Default alignment" for components in a
column/row of <code>GridBagLayout</code> and <code>TableLayout</code>
(as already supported by FormLayout). This is e.g. very useful for
columns with right aligned labels because you specify the alignment
only once and all added labels will automatically aligned to the right.</li>
  <li>Improved BorderLayout support when containing small sized
children.</li>
  <li>Improved <code>JTabbedPane</code> support: reorder tabs in
Design view, insert new tabs before other tabs.</li>

    <code>protected</code>, <code>default</code>
and <code>private</code> in Structure tree in case it is
not the default modifier.</li>
  <li>New tree root node "(form)". When selected, allows specification
of form global options in Properties view.</li>

for Layout, Constraints and Code Generation properties.</li>
  <li>"Set Value to null" command added to popup menu.</li>
  <li>Added "Externalize String" and "Internalize String"
commands to popup menu.</li>

  <li>Show class hierarchy in tool tip of the "Class"
property.</li>
  <li>The combo box to assign a component to the <code>JLabel.labelFor</code>
property no longer contains <code>JLabels</code> so that the component
list is shorter, which makes it easier to find the target component.</li>
  <li>Possibility to reference any (non-visual)
JavaBean as a property value.</li>
  <li>The <code>SpinnerModel</code> editor now supports <code>javax.swing.SpinnerDateModel</code>
and <code>javax.swing.SpinnerListModel</code>.</li>
  <li>Added property editor for <code>java.awt.Cursor</code>.</li>
  <li>Added property editor for <code>javax.swing.KeyStroke</code>.
Supports
menu shortcut modifier key (Command key on
Mac OS X, Ctrl key otherwise).</li>
  <li>Improved border editor.</li>
  <li><code>MatteBorder</code> is now supported.</li>
  <li>Show image dimensions and file size in icon editor.</li>
  <li>Added "Insert Variable" button to custom Java code editors.</li>
  <li>Improved error message of mnemonic property editor.</li>
  <li>Remove property value references to removed components. E.g. when
removing a ButtonGroup object then also the references to this object
are removed.</li>
  <li>Made "visible" property of java.awt.Component visible.</li>
  <li>Made "toolBar" property of SimpleInternalFrame visible. Now you
can add a JToolBar to the Design view and assign it to the
SimpleInternalFrame in the Properties view.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Palette</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Palette Manager allows the configuration of the component
palette (add, edit, remove
and rearrange categories and beans).</li>
  <li>New "Choose Bean" dialog that allows to search for classes
in the classpath, history and palette.</li>
  <li>"Is Container" check box in "Choose Bean" dialog

is a container or not.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Preferences</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Added support for custom Look and Feels.</li>

  <li>New preferences page "Localization" that allows the
specification of properties, which should not externalized.</li>
  <li>Allow editing of Source Folders and Classpath items.</li>
  <li>Added "Edit" and "Insert Variable" buttons to Java code
templates page.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Java code generator</h4>
<ul>

(pass all values to the constructor).</li>
  <li>Added template for "Event Handler Body" to preferences.</li>
  <li>Specification of member variable prefix for
component variables.</li>
  <li>Specification of default "Variable modifiers" and default "Use
Local Variable" properties used for the whole form.</li>
  <li>Specification of event handler method modifiers (public,
protected, private, etc). You can also use "abstract", which is useful
if you subclass form classes.</li>
  <li>Possibility to generate code, which invokes
java.awt.Component.setName() on all components. Works also in
jfd-loader.jar.</li>
  <li>Variables for component fields and types in
custom code.</li>
  <li>Modifier "static" for component variables.</li>
  <li>Code generator can now write Eclipse non-nls tags
(//$NON-NLS-n$) and NetBeans no-i18n tags
(//NOI18N). Enable it in the Preferences dialog.</li>
  <li>The Java code generator now orders the properties in the
same order as you have set the properties in the Properties view. This
makes sure that the generated code behaves the same as the "Test Form"
command and solves problems where the property set order is important.</li>
  <li>Improved speed of Java code generator about 15%.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Other</h4>
<ul>
  <li>Import NetBeans .form files. Either select "File &gt; Import"
from the main menu or drag .form files to the JFormDesigner window.
When saving a imported NetBeans form, JFormDesigner replaces the
NetBeans generated code with its own code. If using NetBeans, you
should remove (and backup) the .form files. Otherwise NetBeans would
again replace the JFormDesigner generated code with its own code.</li>
  <li>JBuilder plugin to convert jbInit() methods to JFormDesigner
forms. Download: <a href="http://www.jformdesigner.com/">www.jformdesigner.com</a>.</li>
  <li>Clipboard paste improved.</li>
  <li>Changed keyboard shortcut for "Close" to "Ctrl+W" and "Close All"
to "Ctrl+Shift+W".</li>
  <li>Added "Browse..." buttons for choosing class names to several
dialogs.</li>
  <li>Linux: Added GNOME window decoration images.</li>
  <li>Better support of dark color themes.</li>
  <li>Possibility to specify persistence delegates
(java.beans.PersistenceDelegate) for property values in property
descriptors (java.beans.PropertyDescriptor). They are used while saving
a form to a .jfd file.</li>
  <li>Now using always the read and write methods specified in the
property descriptors to get and set bean properties.</li>
  <li>Improved error handling for "Test Form" command. You can
now see the whole occurred exception in the Error Log view for easier
analysis of the problem.</li>
  <li>Show window size and inner size of "Test Form" frame in window
title.</li>
  <li>Improved exception handling when accessing BeanInfos.</li>
  <li>JGradientPanel example bean added (see
&lt;jfd-install&gt;/examples/src/com/jformdesigner/examples/beans/JGradientPanel.java).</li>
  <li>New Windows setup with JRE 5.0 Update 5.</li>
  <li>Updated JRE 1.4 in Windows setup to JRE 1.4.2_09.</li>
  <li>Updated TableLayout.jar to latest release (2005-09-20). Added

<p class="box"><b>Important</b>: The .jfd file format has changed in

previous releases (1.0 and 2.0 EA), but always writes the new
format. The new <b>jfd-loader.jar</b> runtime library can read
old and new .jfd files. Also the package names of the jfd-loader.jar
classes
has changed from <code>com.ktauber.form.runtime</code> to <code>com.jformdesigner.runtime</code>.</p>
